Ok so as we all know General Conference
was this week and it was truly amazing, and this time around I did not half to
go to the gym to watch it! I will send pictures of the mission watching
conference. I think that this time the 70s of the church did an amazing job! I
think that my favorite talks where by Elder Lynn G. Robbins and how we should
not pretend to lower the lords standards to make us feel better but raise our
standards to meet God's. I also liked Elder Uchtdorf's talk in how spiritual
truths deserve spiritual answers, we get a lot of people that come and talk to
us and tell us that this church cant be true because of a lack of evidence,
when those things do not matter, because it is a spiritual question to know if
this is Christ's church on the earth today I try to remember that all the time!
and remember the answers that I have received from my heavenly father!
So when conference roles around the
chat system is turned off and we are left with nothing to do unless we have
lessons that we can teach, we had two lessons planed for after the last session
of conference, and wouldn't you know it neither one showed up! We did get to
reschedule with both of them, and that was a blessing but it still left us with
nothing to do for the rest of that night, we took the time to study the notes
we where able to take during the conference and it turned out to be a good
time, We also had an investigator message us during this time and tell us that
he liked the conference and that he had talked with the missionary's in his
area and now has a baptism date for November 1 his name is Sean, and he lives
in New York, We where also glad that we had the time to talk to him about this
and answer some of his questions and make sure that this is something that he
truly wants to do. I know that baptism is a really good thing but I do not want
anyone to be baptized if they are going to turn around the next day and say no
I don't think I want to do this anymore, It is much better to hear that these
people know and want to make this a lifetime commitment to living a Christ like
life! I think that study is my favorite thing to I love the gospel and the
simple things that I have been able to learn out here. from people that are so
ready to hear about the gospel and live it to the fullest.
They are staring to do construction here
in the MTC and all I can really think about it is man I miss being able to work
with my hands it is hard and not something that I think I would do with the
rest of my life but it is something that I enjoyed doing. That is really the
big things that happened this week I hope that you all had a good week! And
that conference was as good for you as it was for me. Wishing you all the best,
Elder Vejnar
